Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3276306A1] Systems and methods (500) for navigating an unmanned aerial vehicle (100) are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method (500) for navigating an unmanned aerial vehicle (100). The method includes capturing (502), by one or more processors (108, 604) associated with a flight management system (104, 600) of an unmanned aerial vehicle (100), one or more images. The method includes assessing (504), by the one or more processors (108, 604), signals from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) (110). The method includes processing (506), by the one or more processors (108, 604), the one or more captured images based on the assessed signals to generate one or more corrected images. The method includes processing (508), by the one or more processors (108, 604), the one or more generated corrected images to approximate position data (610). The method includes causing (510), by the one or more processors (108, 604), the unmanned aerial vehicle (100) to be controlled based on the position data (610).
